Okay lads, where the fuck do I start with Gustavo Bueno? I've seen him shilled on /lit/ a lot in recent times, checked out his wiki page and got interested. Are any of his works available in English? Any other contemporary philosophical materialists I should read?

Don't forget about his controversial cousin, Gustavo Malo.

Depends on what you are looking for.
For his philosophy of science, read the 5 volumes of Theory of Categorical Closure.
For his political philosophy, read Spain Against Europe, Democratic Fundamentalism, The Myth of the Left, The Myth of the Right and The Myth of Culture.
Don't know if there are english translations of these.
If you know spanish, watch his lectures.

Thanks guys, I think I will, I know French and Latin quite well, maybe I'd be able to understand Spanish by comparison with those two languages? Is Bueno a leftist or rightist?

Gustavo Bueno is really fucking difficult even in Spanish. You`d need a lifetime of "Learn spanish" to be able to read him in Spanish.

Your is the most stupid, useless advice ever given here.

>> No.16532938

>>16532927
Lmao.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

You'll be able to understand his teselas and maybe some conferences. Forget about understanding Ensayos materialistas or El ego trascendental without a lifetime of studying Spanish and philosophy.

Read him in English or whatever your native language is.

It's pretty complex. For a long time he supported the USSR, but in his later years he moved more and more to the right.
Nowdays he's almost considered a fascist by some.
His politics are very influenced by the idea of "empire", and that's more important than ideology.

If you're too stupid to employ the correct usage just say "your advise", maybe you just suck at languages.

Do as Bueno himself said and just read Plato; he hailed as the one true philosopher. As a matter of fact, if I remember it correctly, he stated that his materialismo filosófico was just a civic counterpart to Plato's thought, an adaptation for the modern day.

Bueno's philosophy is more than just Plato though. He knew scholastic from memory and was well versed on german idealism.

The telos of his philosophy was wholly Platonic. As a matter of fact, his works are nothing but esoteric commentaries on Divine Plato's dialogues.
